Recently bought a new laptop, specs:
XNi8227d
Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (2,50GHz, 800MHz, 6MB)
4GB DDR2 667MHz memory (2x 2GBdual channel)
200GB SATA hard disk 7200RPM
1GB Intel Turbo Memory module

I installed Vista X64 on it, everything seems to be working except for the Intel Turbo memory. When i open the turbo memory console. It reads Readyboost and readydrive not running. Whilst both services are running. I can't seem to find any way to get it running to. No errors are mentioned in the error logs. Anyone got any suggestions as to the solution?
 
Why in the heck would you need ready boost with 4 gigs of RAM? That technology slows your machine down, it is a marketing ploy.
 
it caches some of your programs for you (readyboost) or speeds up startup time (readydrive). My hard disk always seems to be the bottleneck and every program i get to load of my turbo memory instead of my hard disk is an improvement for me.

Anyways i found out why it doesn't work, i disabled ahci in the bios because he wouldn't detect my hard drive. Now when i turn it on (turbo memory needs it) I get a bsod when starting up... any suggestions anyone?
 
Paging out to a usb flash drive is way slower than paging out to RAM, and with 4Gigs I can't imagine you need ready boost/.
 
it's not paging out to a flash drive. You cache the things you need on the memory chip and then you can page it out to your memory. It's more a station between your hard disk and your memory.

But nvm about the prob, i installed xp so it won't work anyway. I was having problems with my java programming working under vista. As well as with the wireless network security we've got at my school....
